HOUR 2:
Pags Fact-Checks SNAP Claims Live & Breaks Down POTUS’ $2K Stimulus Tease:
Joe Pags delivers an incredible hour of live, fact-based journalism as Producer Sam calls the Massachusetts DTA office on air to verify whether state officials are really blaming the Trump administration for the ongoing SNAP benefits confusion. The results will shock you — and Pags walks listeners through the truth step by step. Then, President Trump teases a potential $2,000 stimulus check tied to tariff revenue, and Pags breaks down what that could mean for your personal economy — and why he’s not exactly thrilled about it. Later, E.J. Antoni, Ph.D., economist at the Heritage Foundation, joins Pags to analyze the economic fallout from the Schumer Shutdown, where the nation stands now compared to one year ago under Biden, and what Americans can expect moving forward. It’s a fact-packed, high-energy hour blending live journalism, economic insight, and Joe’s signature no-spin analysis.
